Claiming My Possessive CEO Husband

Chapter 537: Chapter 537: The Flack family cannot tolerate the scheming foster daughter

“It must have been Xaviera Evans who hit Anna! She definitely knew there was no surveillance here, hence she was so reckless! We can’t let her off the hook!”

As soon as Nidya Hughes finished speaking, Mrs. Flack sneered, “It’s strange, Mrs. Campbell, you are always protecting an adopted daughter yet never listening to your own biological daughter. Since none of you believe her, then it’s easy to handle. Housekeeper Bronte!”

Housekeeper Bronte stepped forward immediately.

Mrs. Flack ordered, “Go, get a doctor to examine Miss Campbell!”

Nidya Hughes’ gaze dimmed, but before she could speak, Mrs. Flack mocked, “That’s right, make sure you find a reputable and respected doctor, lest Mrs. Campbell accuse me of covering up for Xaviera!”

Everyone looked at Nidya Hughes and her daughter with disdain.

Putting aside for a moment whether Anna had been hit or not, her sneaking into the surveillance room meant she was clearly up to something and had a scheme in mind.

No matter if Xaviera had assaulted her or not, it was all Anna’s fault for inviting Xaviera out in the middle of the night and setting all this up. How else would she have been hit?

However, Mrs. Campbell was truly infuriating, blindly siding with her adopted daughter. Had it not been for Mrs. Flack, Xaviera would have been unfairly branded as someone who had assaulted her sister.

“There’s nothing to examine! Miss Campbell’s face only has a few traces of tears, there’s no sign of redness at all. It doesn’t look like she’s been hit!”

“Yes, that’s right! Mrs. Campbell, your adopted daughter is truly…devious! She sneaked into the surveillance room to set up this whole play, didn’t she?”

“Mr. Campbell, your family is considered a wealthy one, but I never expected such a lack of integrity. Your wife and adopted daughter are causing quite a scene in the Flack family’s house! Let’s see how you explain when the doctor comes and finds no injury on Miss Campbell!”

Jeremy Campbell’s face alternated between shades of pale and green.

He glanced at Anna, whose cheeks were still smooth and without any red marks, her body also showing no sign of injury, yet she was in so much pain lying on the ground that it was hard to believe.

Jeremy Campbell frowned, “Anna, what nonsense are you up to? Get back right now!”

Anna’s eyes widened in disbelief, “Dad, you have to believe me, Xaviera really hit me, and for some reason my chest hurts so much!”

“There’s clearly surveillance here, but…I don’t know why it’s gone. You have to believe me! I’m telling the truth!”

At this point, a lady stepped forward, her brows and eyes full of anger, “This is so noisy it’s making me irritable! Mrs. Flack, I don’t understand why you invited such people to attend the Flack family’s banquet. Now that Miss Campbell has admitted to sneaking into the surveillance room, it’s obvious that she orchestrated the whole thing to frame Xaviera!”

Housekeeper Bronte explained, “My lady invited the Campbell family, thinking that both the Campbell and Hughes families were aristocratic. She didn’t expect their family conduct to be so indecent.”

Mrs. Flack coldly instructed, “Housekeeper Bronte, since everyone feels this way, then please ask them to leave. We of the Flack family host banquets for enjoyment. We can’t accommodate such troublemakers and devious adopted daughters. What’s more, I invited the Campbell family, not one adopted girl who doesn’t even count as a member.”

Anna almost fainted.

She didn’t expect Mrs. Flack to say these things so publicly, leaving her completely humiliated.

Even now, she couldn’t figure out why Mrs. Flack was so biased in favor of Xaviera. There was clearly surveillance, and if they just reviewed the footage, it could prove that Xaviera had hit her, but Mrs. Flack stubbornly denied the existence of surveillance here.

Wait a minute!

Anna’s eyes suddenly widened, as if realization dawned upon her. No wonder Xaviera had been so decisive and fearless when she hit her. She had known all along…

That bitch had guessed her plan beforehand, and together with Mrs. Flack, they had staged a play, and she had unknowingly fallen into their trap.

Anna had suffered a few slaps, only to be doubted by everyone. Xaviera had played her cards so well!

Xaviera’s gaze was indifferent as she silently watched Anna.

Did Anna think she went too far? All she did was fight back using the same methods Anna employed against her.

If she didn’t have support behind her and was just an ordinary girl from the countryside, how would she face the continuous traps Anna would set for her after being discovered by the Campbell family?
